I realised today that I can just set up the auto-forwarding in gmail to forward this email to my main gmail account so I don't have to go through the tedious process of logging out of one gmail account and logging into another.
I haven't tried Gmails new POP service yet. I only see that as a way to create my own email archive. Gmail's user interface is good enough, it's main shortcoming for me is not being able to simply paste pictures into emails, you have to mess around attaching them.
My Site5 account gives me unlimited email accounts or something but this is a simpler option. If I do decide to put up the raw mailto then it's gmail that will have to handle the spam.
If anyone reading this wants a gmail invite then just ask. I think they are so common these days that I doubt I'll get any takers.
A nod to this site for the email icon generator.

I have used the POP facility in Gmail. It works very well
Basically any mail that goes to --> anything@hucker.net is redirected to my gmail account. Then using whatever pop client you like (thunderbird in my case) you can access your email through gmails pop service. This works very well for me and I have had ZERO trouble for the last six months.
One interesting thing is that Gmail gives you the option to download all your emails in your gmail account. This did not work well for me, I only got about 110m out of 140mb total. But it was better then nothing.
P.s I like your site, especially as you are using Drupal. I was considering Drupal for my site, but I went with Wordpress b/c of the user community and its easy hackability.
